A project team includes the personnel working on a project who report to the project manager. The various team members must work both independently and as a group:
Each member has his/her own area of expertise for which he/she is responsible.
Team members must work together to successfully integrate the various aspects of the project.
According to Jessica Burdman (1999) in her book Collaborative Web Development Strategies and Best Practices for Web Teams, a typical Web team includes core team members (those individuals necessary for most Web projects), extended team members (those individuals whose skills might not be necessary for every Web project), and special team members (those individuals who are brought in to do work that is not part of the core or extended team responsibilities).
According to Burdman, examples of core team members are:
Project Manager: Identifies the scope of the work, develops the project plan, establishes the budget and schedule, allocates resources, and manages the entire team
Technical Lead: Oversees the technical aspects of the project
Web Production Specialist: Integrates the coding and/or programming of the project site
Creative Lead: Handles the creative aspects of the project, including the overall design
Designers: Create the overall look and feel of the Web site
Burdman further identifies examples of extended team members:
Account Manager: Works with core team by identifying customer insights and information
Programmer: Develops applications appropriate for the Web site
Information Architect: Creates the site architecture, navigation, interaction, etc.
Tester: Tests for quality assurance issues identified by the core team
Although special team members may not be involved in every project, when needed they are essential members of the project team. Examples of special team members are:
